Author’s POV: “Daddy is not coming home now,” Evelyn had been crying in her room, but nobody could come to calm her down. The reason behind this was simple: Layla had locked the room from outside for Zion and Silver to attend to the kids. “He will come home.” Roman sat down with her and gently elbowed her. “Our daddy is powerful,” Roman added. “he can fight anyone he wants and can be home as a winner.” “But Mom said aunt Silver has---,” before Evelyn could say anything else, Roman corrected her. “Don’t listen to what Layla says and don’t call her mommy. She is not a gracious lady. See how she was yelling at Aunt Silver when she was crying? Who even does that?” Roman frowned, shaking his head angrily. “She yelled at them because they hurt daddy,” Evelyn sniffled, waiting for her brother to say something. “I don’t believe that. She just wants us to hate Uncle Zion and Aunt Silver,” Roman responded stubbornly, “Even daddy said not to call her your mommy,” “Our real mom said to love
Aramis’ POV:My heart forgot to beat when the sight of Phoenix shook my world. She was alive and breathing. I don’t know if she was one of them and it was just her soul wandering around, but seeing her again had fluttered something inside my heart again.I was stuck to my place, tears leaving my eyes and the pain of losing her freshening up in my memory. This lady in front of me does not know how much her departure saddened me.‘Ah!’ Hawker let out a sigh of relief, ‘I am fe---eling the mate bond,’ I heard his whimpers.I saw Phoenix kicking their asses, and a smile covered my lips. I remember her last days in our world were full of misery. Even moving a muscle used to be such a chore for her.And here she was, on her feet like a fucking warrior he used to be.“Is that all you got?” she let out a chuckle, watching the wailing guards plead before her to leave them alone.“You need to go back to your cage and perform your duties. You can wander around after that. Why do you have to ruin
Author's POV:“I need to go inside and speak to the kids.” Silver was talking to the guards as she stood in front of their door and expected them to open the door.“I’m sorry! You need to speak to the Luna Queen for this,” the guard responded.“What? I need to take her permission to see the kids. Why is the fucking door even locked?” Silver tried to argue with the guards, but it wasn’t their fault. They were only following her orders.“We are sorry! We cannot do anything,” the guards answered. Silver scoffed as she walked out of there. And power walked back to Layla’s room and has a word with her.“Why are the kids locked in their rooms?” Silver barged into Layla’s room. She tried opening the door to the kid’s room but not only had Layla locked the door, but also told the guards to not let anyone get closer to the door. The reason given them was also bizarre. She said she was afraid the wailing brides will come and take the babies with them.“First of all, knock first next time,” Layl
Aramis’ POV:"Huh?" she raised a brow, scanning me from head to toe. I felt my heart thumping as I prayed she would say something soothing next. Even if she doesn’t, I am still relieved to see her kicking."I am your mate," I whispered, taking slow strides near her. My attempts to reach her ceased when she squared up for her defense.I had to take a few steps back to reassure her I don’t mean any harm to her.She kept glaring at me for a moment before the lines on her forehead unfolded. The slow change in her facial expression was a sign she was putting pressure on her brain to recognize me."Aramis!" Her lips pronouncing my name covered my skin in goosebumps.It was a moment of realization for her. She stepped back while her eyes formed a mist before she ran in my direction. It was as if my soul was ready to jump back into my body.I was ready to catch her, smell her, and hold her in my arms. Hawker was desperate to feel her scent all over us once again.The moment she reached me and
Phoenix’s POV:23 October,My heart stopped beating, and darkness covered everything. It was the moment when I knew my time had come. There was no feeling anymore. I couldn’t hear my mate sing; neither could I enjoy his heartbeat.I left the world, my mate, and my babies. And then, suddenly, everything started to feel better. The coldness in the weather was back. I could even feel the wind brushing against my skin.I was able to hear the world again. I was beginning to feel the air again. I jolted awake and found my body lying in a dark cave with bars to prevent any entrance or exit."Where am I?" I whispered, my throat dry and my lips barely moving. The fact that I remember dying and then waking up to a new environment shook the world from under my feet. The scary part was the fact that I was no longer in any sort of pain. My body was feeling energetic as if I had just been born. "What is this place? Where are my babies?" I yelled, getting up on my feet and running a hand over my bo
Author’s POV"She is fine now." a doctor had run all the tests on Layla to make sure Layla and her baby were fine. Layla saw the look on Silver’s face when hearing she was fine. She must be so angry that Layla didn’t die, Layla assumed."Thank you so much for coming here again." Silver thanked the doctor and asked a maid to accompany her to the door. Once Silver and Layla were left alone, Silver let out a grunt to express her anger toward Layla."What the hell were you thinking? Aren’t you happy to exhaust everyone here? Why the heck did you go to the prison?" she wasn’t sure why Layla was walking around being a mischievous brat."It wasn’t my fault, okay? I was just trying to visit the prisoners and see how things are going," she scoffed, shaking her head as if it was indeed true."Why don’t you fool somebody else?" Silver groaned, glaring at her for lying so smoothly."Listen, I am the Luna queen! I can walk around and do whatever I want." Layla had enough of Silver telling her what
Phoenix’s POV:"They must be big now," I sighed, recalling that the only time I saw them was when I fed them for the first and final time."They are. You will be surprised. They are not regular kids; they are more than that. Evelyn is just an adorable copy of you, and Roman is fierce like you." Aramis smiled as he talked about our kids.I kept staring at his handsome face. All these years stuck in here, I almost forgot half of my life in the real world."Did they not get anything from their father?" I teased him, and he nodded shyly."Their desperate desire to meet their mother. Just like their father craved to meet his mate," he seemed to have gone through a lot when I died. I cannot believe he still kept me in his heart."Aramis! I cannot wait to leave this place," I uttered. "I want to remember everything," I added."Well, we have Silver for that. I’m sure she will be able to pull through something." Aramis and I had been hiding near the mountains for weeks. But it will be less tha
"Are you regretting it?" I asked, looking around at this fancy-looking thing called a car that I completely forgot about."What?" Aramis broke the stare from the road when my voice was able to drag him out of whatever world he was still stuck in."You haven’t said a word ever since we got out of there. What is the matter? Are you having second thoughts?" I asked again since he was just blankly staring at the road again."No! Why would you think that? Do you have any idea how desperate I have been to see you once? You don’t even know how badly I wanted to see you and hug you. Just don’t say that again." He spoke so aggressively that for a moment, I kept staring at him in silence."Are you always that rude?" I asked and then let out a sigh, "If you are thinking you can be rude to me and I will just sit and listen to your tone, you are wrong," I looked outside the window, disappointed at how he had been acting ever since we jumped out of that land."Phoenix! It is not that. I am so sorry
"Oh! And the kid who used to steal her candies?" Zion excitedly said, reminding us of a little quarrel Veronica used to have with this little kid because he would always steal her candies and would not even eat them. "Yeah! Keep bullying me," she playfully rolled her eyes and then looked my way. I gave her a smile of reassurance to brighten up her evening. It had been a year since we last fought with the wailing brides. The bodies were released, and it took us time to say goodbye to everyone and give them a proper burial. Aramis finally let go of Tanner’s body. I cozied up in his arms, sitting around the fireplace with the others and enjoying a beautiful evening. We gathered around to celebrate my baby shower. I heard from the doctor that I was having twins, a son, and a daughter yet again. We were all sitting on the floor with blankets wrapped around our bodies and shivering in the cold. Markus had found a mate, while Veronica was not ready to date anyone. She wanted to focus on h
Phoenix’s POV:As planned by Aramis, Morine was executed, and her body was thrown at the wailing river to get picked up by the wailing brides. Morgana was left injured. She woke up to the wailing bride getting attacked by the warrior. The horror she witnessed was compared to nothing when she died their slow and painful death from her wounds. She kept yelling for the guards to not leave her body here after she dies but they didn’t care. This was the first time in over a year that they had received a body. So the wailing brides came to collect the body, and that’s when Aramis attacked them with the sword he made with graphite.Since we had collected a lot of it before returning to our world, Aramis was able to make a few swords. That was the basic problem. Most of our guards were only going to protect and delay their attacks. After the wailing brides were killed, we knew they were coming.Since Aramis and I knew where they would be coming from, we had prepared our army to stand on the g
Author’s POV:"I don't understand why they're accusing me of all this nonsense," Hassel had been on the verge of tears since Mr. and Mrs. Heller read the case Aramis and Phoenix had prepared against him."So you don’t remember?" Aramis scoffed. "Let me jog your memory a bit with these text messages and audio recordings." He held Iris’ phone up and played the audio. Iris had deleted everything from her side.Silver had been staring at Zion, who was holding Iris close by. She didn’t think he would get fooled by her so easily. But then again, she remembered her own beliefs. It was true that the Alphas only want a she-wolf, not some witch like her."That is---," Hassel felt his throat drying up, "I do--- this is a huge conspiracy against me," he claimed, trying to get up from the seat when two guards pulled him down and held a gun with silver bullets to his temples. He was frozen in shock. It was happening. His downfall has arrived. Veronica and Markus were standing behind Phoenix’s couch
Author’s POV:Misty’s rejection caused an uproar because she denied leaving the pack and accepting the rejection. She wanted Markus to promise her he would accept her, and only then would she reject Hassel and leave the pack. Unfortunately for Iris, she had lost her baby. Hassel accused her of not taking care of his heir, but he didn’t reject her yet."He is going to reject me soon." She whispered to herself, crying for hours in her room and getting angry at her sister for her loss."If Phoenix’s siblings can betray her, how did I ever think mine wouldn’t do the same? She took my mate first, and now she's taken my baby." She broke down once again."What the heck was I thinking when I closed the door that day? I wish Zion had survived and was still the alpha of the pack. He used to treat me with so much respect. I was able to brainwash him so well, but this Hassel, he is only hungry for power and sex. I will never be able to win his heart and neither do I want now," she scoffed at the
Author’s POV:"You are becoming so difficult to deal with. Why do you have to question my every action?" Misty finally yelled at Hassel after listening to him for a few minutes, complaining about her spending most of the money on shopping and then coming home to sleep and not even looking at him."I’m the one who is difficult to deal with? You barely pay attention to me. This isn’t why I married you," Hassel yelled louder, walking back and forth while she kept sitting on a couch, texting her friends."You have other mates. Why don’t you go spend time with them so that I can be left alone for a few minutes?" Misty muttered, not even raising her face from her cellphone.Hassel was shocked to hear her say that. It sounded like she didn’t even care who he sleeps with anymore."You wouldn’t be jealous if I slept with my other mates?" He asked Misty in confusion and shock. He was slowly beginning to realize that while he used everyone else, Misty used him."It’s not like I can keep you with
"Hassel had offered me a good amount to get rid of Savia. When I arrived on the scene and tried to harm her, Tanner appeared out of nowhere. He started fighting for her and saving her. That’s when I started shouting at the top of my lungs that it was Tanner who did all that to her. Since she was bleeding and in his arms, the nearby pack members started accusing him. I realized he had some trauma from his childhood because he began to sob instantly. It wasn’t our plan to trap him, but it fits perfectly." Kian said while tied to the chair. Aramis had beaten him up really badly in order to make him take us seriously. He was no longer joking around or beating around the bush."So you accused my brother!" Aramis grunted. "Do you have any idea you killed two people that day?" Aramis punched him as he lost his temper. I just stood in the corner, remembering Tanner and feeling bad for him. He did not deserve what happened to him. His best interest was to save Savia. "You will be tortured a
Phoenix’s POV:"The memory came back when I saw her in the wailing world. It terrorized me to my core. I can’t believe I forgot about it. I am sure it was the Moon Goddess trying to save me from the painful memory of that night." Aramis had tears streaming down his eyes while he kept staring at his mother’s portrait."I am so sorry." I instantly got up and wrapped my arms around him. He sobbed in my arms like a little baby who never got a chance to mourn losing so much that night.Not only did he witness his mother kill his father and Naira, but he also saw her attacking him. She didn’t only take away his father from him, but his mother, too."I saw my mother turn into a monster and leave," Aramis bit the inside of his cheek as he broke the hug and held my hand to put it on his chest. "I always thought about why I felt this weird feeling whenever I heard the wailing brides cry. It is because they all imitate my mother’s cry, the cry I grew up listening to every night." He was shaking
Author’s POV:Years Ago:"Hush little baby, don’t say a word--- moma’s gonna buy you---," her eyes teared up when signing to her little baby boy Tanner. She was nicknamed Majesty after her beauty and elegance were noticed by many others. She was a Luna queen of Alpha King Nicholas Knight, but sadly, her life was not royal because her mate wished to reject her."Jocelina!" she cried for the attention of the nanny they had brought in. Jocelina walked inside and bowed down to Majesty."Where is Alpha King?" she asked, and Jocelina bit her tongue. She knew very well what interests her alpha king had."Majesty! Why do you want to know?" Jocelina sighed, feeling bad for her because it was like a routine now. Majesty will see her mate with that chosen mate of his, and she will not stop crying the entire night."He is with her again?" Majesty asked, feeling this weird anger bubbling inside her."Where else would he be?" Jocelina didn’t understand why the Alpha King couldn’t just love his true
"This much is enough." Silver held the bottle of blood in her hand and stared at it with hope-covered eyes."Silver! I know you are doing a lot already, but I need your help with something else." I watched her put the bottle down and turn to focus on me."Is it about finding Ezekiel?" she asked, and I smiled at her intelligence. "I am already looking for ways to break the protection spell. Once I am able to do it, it will be a lot easier for me to track Morgana down. The only reason she is able to hide from us is the magic Morine is using. However, she is old and very sick. Using so much magic can lead to her demise. If that happens, it will leave Morgana unprotected. I will try my best to keep looking for them." After discussing her plans and ideas with me, she nodded to herself and then smiled once something else popped up in her head."Thank you for coming back," she said."I couldn’t stay away from here. I just wanted to keep my daughter safe. The Moon Goddess gave Layla a chance
